the idea here is to give the u.s. congress enough borrowing power to take us almost two years down the road, two years, by the way, that's roughly the amount of time that has elapsed since the democrats in the senate even introduced a budget. one has to ask why extend the debt limit for such a long period of time? the president gave us the answer the other day. he wants to insulate himself from the political process. he wants to make it not a political issue. political issues are themselves things that the voters are concerned about, as well they should be. because voters pay taxes, voters are affected by the decisions we make. we need to have voters connected, not disconnected from this process. we need to act now but we need to act responsibly and the only way to do that is to raise the debt limit only after we pass the balanced budget amendment. thank you, madam president. a senator: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. udall: i ask unanimous consent alternating blocks of time cont

but with the u.s. attempt to invade cuba, he not only lost his home, he lost his community and his way of life because he couldn't return to cuba. so, his servants, his pets, really a tragic event. i think when that happened, he sort of stopped wanting to live. >> now, while we are speaking about that, i read that after he died, j.f.k. intervened so that his widow, mary, could get his papers out of cuba. could you tell us about that? >> that's true. the kennedy administration did intervene, made connections with the castro regime. mary was able to take a shrimp boat to cuba and fill it up with his papers and paintings and bring them home. she did give his home there to the cuban government and the pilar, as well. i think it's really neat today that hemmingway's home in cuba just outside havana is the single-most visited cultural site in cuba. it has a staff of 5,200 people. it's taken care of by the cuban ministry of culture. they are extremely proud of their connection with hemmingway and consider him

u.s. troops at fort hood. you can't make this up drama if and what al-awlaki had begun and in congress after 9/11, you have to ask yourself who's watching the store. but again, it seems to me that americans need to wake up to what this is. it is difficult because there seems to be pushed back from their elected representatives, local, national and even law enforcement. why is that? has the infiltration become so successful that there's no kind of a bedrock of islamists who are inside our infrastructure, government, media and education? >> guest: it is so deep, and it's a lack of intellectual curiosity in a lot of cases. a simple google search could give you information about the ties of these muslim brotherhood front groups. if you google it you will find everything you need to know. yet apparently our government officials and federal gosh mom in many cases federal law enforcement officials are not doing that background research, are not exercising their due diligence. in many cases the sad fact is they just d

a 1% increase in the interest rate for the u.s. debt would cost another $1.3 trillion over ten years. that's just a 1% raise. the lender would point out that the raise in debt plus the rise in interest rates could result in your entire paycheck going to interest, and the interest payments would have to come ahead of food rs clothing, and any social needs for you or your children or your parents or grandparents. that's what we're fog about here as a potential future for the united states. the entire interest payments going to pay -- would be the only thing that we could pay for. if the banker were foolish to consider such a loan, he'd want to know what spending changes you were going to make. he would expect changes immediately, not piddly changes this year for a promise of a big change in the ninth year. he would want some proof that you were serious. if we act now and agree to cut 1% -- the 1% solution -- just one penny of each dollar from our spending and reduce the cap to the new spending level by that year for each of the next
